Toyota Automobile Museum has a world-class collection of classic cars, not just Toyota. A huge complex of cars. More like an art museum of automobile sculpture. The cars are beautiful works of art.From JR Nagoya Station, it takes about 45 min. to the museum by subway and train. First take the Higashiyama subway line to Fujigaoka. Then transfer to the Linomo Line. Get off at Geidai-dori Station. Museum is a short walk away.
